A Hors.'s Ear For Music.

The following story is told by Fred
Grant as proof Of the faculty possessed
by horses BY which they distinguish
different tunes. In his last year at West
Point he held the position OF Captain of
Artillery. One day the visiting beer,
who happened to be his father, Gen.
Grant. held an'inspect;on and drill. AT
ter the cadets had assembled on the
parade-ground it was deci ed to give
the commands by bngle CALL The otfi-
GERS would then deliver them byfword of
mouth to the Eenr Fred Grant had q
VIGOROUSLY bad ear for music. He had
never been abe to master single tune,
and, worst still, had no idea of time.
When the announcement of the mode of
giving the orders was made he crushed up
to comrade and sad &c rcat goodness!
What shall do? can't tell the differ
cnce between the charge and the re.

His friend advised him to change his
horse for MasepIa, q horse of one of the
aScrgeants She would safe'y carry him
ont Of the di emma. He hastily did SO and
watched every movement Of his animal
during the ensuing eyolutions. When
the bugle sounded .Forwardm the
knowing animal advanced and the COM
the call Of ',Halt!n came Mazeppa stood
like a rock, and the proper order was
issued by the officer. In this way the
horse, by its ear for music, made known
to its rider the orders of the day and
6 rried him proudly through the compli-
Gated movements to the drill.

A Young Mothers Grief.

A pretty little story il told ofyone Of
the prettiest and sweetest little women
in Engewood. She has been wife
seven years, and three times mother.
Not long ago one OF her babes--her
youngest died, and was taken on a
cold day to lakewood for buri,l. The
young mother was half da1ed with grief,
but proved sufficiently strong on the day
OF the funeral to ride to the cemetery.
After the services were over at the vault
she requested that the coffin be once
more opened, and the undertaken graft
led her wish. Being lett almost alone.
with her dead for a moment the poor
mother suddenly took the lifeless little
body in her arms, pulled from beneath
her cloak warm and fieecy cheese cloth
child's quilt, and carefully wrapped it
about the form of the infant. mnrmur-
